Using Mix Effects with DJ Equipment

Video Transcript

"Hey everybody. I'm DJ Shy and this is Expert Village. Right now we are working on how to mix. In order to mix I want to show you some of the features that are on the mixer. We have here these options to delay, echo, filter, flanger, phaser, robot, and roll. Right now I'm going to show you an example of how to use those effects as a method of mixing. I'm going to play this song and I'll show you what it sounds like. Here's our song. In order to echo I'm going to have it on echo. We can hear how it echoes. I'm going to do another effect called the flanger. The flanger effect sounds like this. That's a cool effect that I like to use all the time. Now the roll sounds like this. I don't really like that effect too much but that's what it sounds like. Another effect is called the filter. I use this quite often as well. Those are what the effects sound like. Basically all I do is that I point it to the effect that I would want to use and I just press the button. I want to use the flanger and I have it on turntable one. I'm going to keep it at the middle for the level depth. All I have to do is press the button when I want the flanger to come on. I want is to come on right now. If I want to turn it off I just press that power button again and it turns off. That's how you use the effects and turn on and off the effects in order to mix."
